bug#6725: say what clients

[jidanni]

Upon trying to exit emacs, the users might see:
     This Emacs session has clients; exit anyway? (yes or no)
OK, but the user thinks "why clients is he talking about? Can I see a
list please?"

(However looking at the following, it doesn't really help either:)
server-clients is a variable defined in `server.el'.
Its value is
(#<process server <2>>)

Documentation:
List of current server clients.
Each element is a process.

emacs-version "24.0.50.1"

bug#6725: show clients

[jidanni]

Same goes for the message
"The current server still has clients; delete them? (yes or no)"

Perhaps give a third option, to show them.

I'm not sure any list would make sense here?  We're talking about
emacsclient clients, and just listing those connections wouldn't really
impart any information.

So I'm closing this bug report.

I would add
"Tip: use C-x C-b to see leftover buffers."
